Ruby said: “It’s Ruby here – yes, broadcasting live from the jungle, where the Wi-Fi is powered by mosquitoes and my only beauty routine is ‘don’t get eaten.’
“But fear not!
“The moment I escape, I’m heading straight back on the road and can’t wait to see you all there.”
Tickets will be available from Friday, November 28, at rubywax.net/livetour.
